Here comes Skippy

How wonderful it is to see the sudden light illuminating a child's face at a totally improbable present. That's how we have been introduced to a new character in our mist tonight. The improbable Skippy the kangaroo.
A totally crazy inflatable beast with a sweet face that made the child shriek with delight.
A simple apparatus can suddenly change your world, turning it upside down and make you rejoice. An emotion so pure because new. Why, as adult, do we lost this simple ability to marvel and find happiness in the inflatable Kangaroos of our world?.
Maybe the problem comes from this loss of innocence, the loss of our childhood dreams that sustained us, help us wake up in the morning and gave us hope. Sometimes reality is so far from what we dreamed for ourselves, that we had to give up our dreams and fresh innocence to fit in, to catch up.
But not tonight, tonight Skippy the improbable inflatable kangaroo came into my life, and with the eyes of a child, I understood that life can always be renewed, forgotten dreams remembered, hope replenished....and that our flat is too small for that giant beast somehow!
